Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 5 medium Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes (canned, with no added sugar)
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until it becomes fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Stir in the red pepper flakes and cook for another 30 seconds to release their flavor.
Add the crushed tomatoes to the pan, stirring well to combine with the garlic and red pepper flakes.
Season the sauce with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Allow it to simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
Once the sauce has thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in the chopped fresh basil.
Serve immediately with your favorite Paleo-friendly dishes or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
